Its best to have the new tires on the same axle for equal braking especially on wet pavement.
I'm having trouble understanding this statement. Why would having the new tires on one side as recommended by the dealer result in poorer braking?
The brakes on one axle get the same amount of amps when braking. If one end on the axle has a new tire and the other end has a old tire the old tire can/may slide easier than the new tire. Wet pavement simply multiplies the problem.
Read carefully what Goodyear is saying about "handling and performance".
Due to braking rotational forces during a hard braking event the rear axle can lift the front axle, through the equalizer bar, enough that the front axle tires can slide. Results are flat spotting. For that reason I prefer my new tires on the rear axle.
Other may prefer the front axle.
